My daughter is friends with a boy called Jed. It is short for Joseph Edward. Joseph is his grandfather and Edward is his dad. Very cute idea!
And I assume his last name started with D.
I know a boy named Jed because of his grandpa's initials are J.E.D. Kinda a neat way to honor a grandpa without it being the same name.
